Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Department for International Development officials discuss Zimbabwe policy frequently. On 13 September, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Development held a meeting with officials from both Departments to consider UK humanitarian assistance to Zimbabwe. The UK remains one of the largest donors of humanitarian aid to Zimbabwe, amounting to over £120 million since 2001. Our assistance does not go through the Zimbabwean government; instead we channel it through UN agencies and civil society organisations, who ensure that it reaches those that need it most.
